Crucible of Force uses the Award Winning Fields of Fire game engine to bring our fast paced, yet accurate play style to the Second World War. These rules cover European Theater combat from the beginning of the war to the Summer of 1943. Also included are play charts and other play aids to make your gaming experience more enjoyable. The rules cover all aspects of game play, from movement and shooting to command and control, but are written in such a way as to allow the player to design a scenario as simple or as advanced as desired. Novice players appreciate the easy to understand format, while veterans appreciate a fast-paced game that maintains real-world accuracy for their historical or what-if scenarios. Playable at either 6mm or 15mm, Crucible of Force allows you to use the scale you prefer for your game. Each miniature represents 1 tank and infantry basing is flexible. The game plays as well for platoon level combat as it does for a battalion. These rules cover equipment from the USA, USSR, Great Britain, France, Poland, Germany, and Italy. —description from the publisher
